130 Watts power compact..

Maybe a Squamosa or a deresa most clams like Metal halides especially the croceas and maximas.

So squasmosa or deresa..?? I will look and see if I can find some colorful ones... I can't get to much lighting it would be to much for my other corals

I have a 40 with several clams in it.. running a 25 HQI and two 96 watt pc's...so the size isnt much of an issue, However the lighting is definatley a issue. Even the Derasa or Squamosa will probly thrive under more light........Croceas and Maximas wont do well at all.
